[Zlib-devel] New gzio called gzlib

[Mark Adler]

Faithful zlib testers,

I have written a ground-up replacement for gzio.c called gzlib.  
Eventually this will be split off of zlib, and so has its own version 
number.  It consists of several source files, including a gzlib.h that 
contains the user interface, much like zlib.h.  You can find the source 
files here:

     http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~madler/gzlib-1.0.0.1.tar.gz

The functions therein are temporarily named differently than in the 
current zlib, with inserted underscores, to allow side-by-side testing. 
  So gzFile becomes gz_file, gzread becomes gz_read, etc.  There is no 
makefile, so you're own your own compiling it, but of course you're all 
up to that.

So if you can, and especially if you normally make use of the gz* 
functions, please test the new gzlib and let me know how it goes.  
Thanks.
